What is Real Madrid and Levante's form's form ahead of this match?
Real Madrid gets to this game still unbeaten, but Los Blancos have left some doubts among fans and experts. Zidane's men have collected one win and two draws, which is not where Florentino Pérez and Co. wanted to be when they splashed the cash in the offseason. Real Madrid has failed to win at home or to keep a clean sheet this season, and Saturday's match might just be their chance to do so.
On the other hand, Levante bounced back from an initial loss on Matchday 1 to win two games in a row.Paco López's side collected two wins at home (against Villarreal and Valladolid), but they must also prove they can win away from home, following their 1-0 loss against Alavés.
What position do Real Madrid and Levante occupy prior to this game in La Liga?
Levante is currently ranked fourth in La Liga, product of their two wins and one loss. The team has only conceded two goals, which sees them joining a few teams that have performed correctly in defense.
On the other hand, Real Madrid enters this game in fifth place, right beside Osasuna and Alavés. Real Madrid has been able to score five goals on the road, but they are yet to prove they can do the same at the Bernabeu, where they were dominated by Valladolid's defense, which only conceded one goal.
Real Madrid vs Levante - Who's in and who's out

The Croatian midfielder's absence adds up to those of Marco Asensio, Isco and Brahim Díaz due to injury. Los Blancos' top scorer this season, Gareth Bale, will also be out for this game after being sent off against Villarreal.
Paco López will only have to worry about Rober Pier's absence due to injury. The rest of the squad is still available to play.
